Long term vs short term
Sorry for being away for so long. Q4 is a crazy period for sales people as we are trying to close a few projects and prepare for next year's forecast.
There's also all the paperwork to deal with to get the working visa. Yeah, I'm gonna stuck here for quite some time. It was a tricky decision because after conversion, the take-home-pay is less even though there's an increment and the currency is 3 times higher.
This is because the rents and tax here is crazy while the EPF is less. Rents are going like AUD1800/mth for a 1 bed room apartment. Well, in a way my living standards is increased because I don't have to share an apartment anymore.
I pay quite a bit of tax to Malaysia gov but its nothing compared to the >20% tax that Australian gov is asking for.
So why did I do it when my take-home-pay is less? To build my profile before going to somewhere else.
